Abstract:This guidebook was written for school personnel who come in direct, daily contact with the grieving student. Included is a description of what staff should expect from the grief experience of students and staff. It provides information about how to support the grieving student, healthy ways to grieve, and how to be empathetic. A description is provided of the six basic concepts of grief. Common responses of students in relation to their academic, behavioral, emotional, physical, and social development are also discussed. Special considerations or complications such as death from suicide, murder, AIDS, chronic illness, accidents, or trauma are reviewed. Age-appropriate classroom activities are listed that help students deal with grief. A recommended reading list is also offered for different ages. (JDM)
